If as it seems the flumotion team aren't working on it any more then perhaps we need to find someone else to continue its development. I recall something about wikimedia having a fork of it though ... cheers, Conrad.

Certainly looks like their focus is elsewhere, which is a real shame because as far as I'm aware there is nothing else like it. -Phil
